%T PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN ACIDIFIER PADA AIR MINUM
TERDAHAP PERFORMA AYAM KAMPUNG UNGGUL

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan acidifier pada
air minum sebagai feed additif terhadap performa ayam kampung unggul
Balitbangtan (KUB). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Januari--Maret 2023 di
kandang Open House Jurusan Peternakan, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas
Lampung. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) 4
perlakuan dan 5 ulangan, yaitu P0 ; air minum tanpa penambahan asam sitrat
(Kontrol), P1 ; air minum dengan penambahan 0,5% asam sitrat, P2 ; air minum
dengan penambahan 1% asam sitrat dan P3 ; air minum dengan penambahan
1,5% asam sitrat. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis sidik ragam dengan taraf
5% apabila perlakuan berbeda nyata (P<0,05) maka diuji lanjut dengan uji BNT.
Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan asam sitrat tidak berpengaruh
nyata (P>0,05) terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot tubuh dan konversi
ransum. Penambahan acidifier pada air minum dengan dosis sampai 1,5% secara
ad libitum cenderung memberikan penurunan pertambahan bobot tubuh meskipun
bobot yang dihasilkan masih dalam kondisi normal dan penambahan acidifier (asam
sitrat) pada air minum sampai dengan dosis 1,5% belum mampu memberikan efek terbaik
terhadap performa ayam KUB.

This research aims to determine the effect of adding acidifier to drinking water as
a feed additive on the performance of KUB chickens. This research was
conducted from January--March 2023 in the Open House cage of the Department
of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. This study
used a completely randomized design (CRD) 4 treatments and 5 replicated,
namely P0; drinking water without the addition of citric acid (Control), P1;
drinking water with the addition of 0.5% citric acid, P2; drinking water with the
addition of 1% citric acid and P3; drinking water with the addition of 1.5% citric
acid. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with a level of 5% if the
treatment is significantly different (P < 0.05) then tested further with the LSD test.
The results showed that the addition of citric acid had no significant effect
(P>0.05) on ration consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion. The
addition of acidifier in drinking water with doses up to 1.5% ad libitum tends to
decrease body weight gain even though the resulting weight is still in normal
conditions and the addition of acidifier (citric acid) in drinking water up to a dose
of 1.5% has not been able to provide the best effect on the performance of KUB
chickens.
